"Christ Killer" by The Coyote of American Zen (an entertaining version like a stoned Arlo Guthrie) 4-track Utah Mix of "Christ Killer" by American Zen (spooky vocals by the Zen dudes in Coyote's kitchen)

Autumn Flavours poetry book

This is the FIRST POETRY BOOK ever written by the young Coyote.

Although Coyote had stacks of poems and notebooks full of lyrics and poetry he’d written, this book, AUTUMN FLAVOURS, began when Coyote began writing the poem “Insecticide Soup,” on his bedroom door.
